10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 1 Measuring bremsstrahlung photons in pp collisions (update) Ali Hanks Group Meeting Oct. 16, 2006
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 2 Method Fragmentation photons are correlated with high p T jets –Use h- correlations to select photons associated with jets Tagging method for estimating decay photon background –Tag photons from 0 using invariant mass distribution –Estimate tagging efficiency with fastmc
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 3 Method (cont’d) Associated 0-decay per trigger yield: Include contribution from other hadronic decays: Associated frag per trigger yield:
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 4 h- inc per trigger yield
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 5 h- tagged per trigger yield
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 6 Tagging efficiency Simulation generates 0 s in a guassian distribution around a “trigger” hadron –distribution is p T dependant –determined from real data Let these 0 s decay and compare resulting h- distribution for single photon acceptance and pair acceptance 00 trigger ∆∆ hadron- ∆ distribution two particle acceptance three particle acceptance
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 7 0 distribution from data
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 8 0 distribution from data Use sigma values from fit as input for distributions generated in same p T bins
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 9 Tagging efficiency estimates Study tagging efficiency as a function of in same p T bins as data Still need to do this with input 0 spectrum from pp
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 10 h- tagged per trigger yield With estimated tagging efficiency included
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 11 h- subtracted per trigger yield h- inc – h- tagged with tagging efficiency included
10/20/06 Hard/Photon Analysis Fest 12 To Do Complete work on subtraction of h- decay –Study tagging to check for possible over-tagging –Check esitmate of tagging efficiency for errors –contribution from other hadronic decays Still not clear if shape is same as for 0
